  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Doug Wilson's view on Christian marriage is blasphemous

Last week, I read an article in The Wall Street Journal that profiled Douglas Wilson, pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, who is described in Wikipedia as a “public proponent of postmillennialism, Christian nationalism, covenant theology and biblical patriarchy.”

The article in question, “Douglas Wilson Wants the U.S. to be a Christian Republic. MAGA is Listening,” proclaims, “The incendiary pastor calls for taking away women’s right to vote and barring non-Christians from holding office.”

I found many things in the article with which I disagree profoundly with Rev. Wilson. However, one statement I found so appalling and offensive that I felt compelled to take up my pen to refute it.

In the midst of describing Wilson’s views on women’s subservient roles to men, the article quotes from Wilson’s book Fidelity,where he wrote that:

“The sexual act cannot be made into an egalitarian pleasuring party: A man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants. A woman receives, surrenders, accepts.”

This description of Holy Matrimony, especially from a minister of the Gospel, is so at odds with God’s revealed design for marriage that it can only be adequately described as blasphemous, defined as “sacrilegious, against God on sacred things, profane.”

“The sexual act cannot be made into an egalitarian pleasuring party: A man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants. A woman receives, surrenders, accepts.”

If that’s not a statement written by a man that is a selfish and uncaring lover that never cared to learn what it meant to engage of the unitive act of marriage… I don’t know what is. Yuck.
